EP20K100EQC240-2

Overview

The EP20K100EQC240-2 is an APEX 20K field-programmable gate array featuring a MultiCore architecture. It provides 4,160 logic elements and 416 product-term-based macrocells within a 240-pin plastic quad flat package. The device operates at a 2.5 V internal supply voltage with support for 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V I/O levels. It includes 26 embedded system blocks offering up to 53,248 bits of RAM. The -2 speed grade supports 33 MHz PCI operation.

Feature Summary

• MultiCore architecture integrating LUT logic, product-term logic, and embedded memory
• 26 Embedded System Blocks (ESBs) providing dual-port RAM, FIFO, and CAM capabilities
• Four-level hierarchical FastTrack Interconnect structure
• Support for 3.3-V, 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI compliance

Applications

• System-on-a-programmable-chip integration
• Complex state machine implementation
• Digital signal processing designs
• High-speed interface controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific -2 speed grade availability as this variant may be discontinued. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement. Ensure the 240-pin PQFP footprint matches the target board design. Check for obsolescence notices from the manufacturer or authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring a mix of register-intensive and combinatorial logic. The 2.5 V core voltage requires appropriate power supply planning. Verify that the 240-pin QFP package fits the assembly constraints. Consider the -2 speed grade if 33 MHz PCI performance is sufficient.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera APEX 20K family, which was among the first PLDs to integrate SOPC features. The EP20K100E variant specifically denotes the enhanced version with broader I/O standard support compared to the base EP20K100.
